* NEWS, configure.in, README: prep for 0.2.2.
2006-03-17 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py
src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py
Slight adjustment to the spell checking routines. Needed to
check if each word in the text area starts with the bad word
rather than is exactly equal to it. The latter wasn't taken
into consideration any possible punctuation symbols.
2006-03-17 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* bugs/bugs.html: triage/update based upon GNOME 2.14.
2006-03-16 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py
Slight tweak to the previous change. Always speak the text
attributes for size and family-name. For the others, if the
value is the default, then ignore it.
2006-03-16 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py
Added in a new hotkey combination (Insert+f), that will speak
a set of text attributes (indent, underline, strikethrough, size,
family-name, justification and style) for the character at the
text caret offset.
Three new methods created:
textAttrsToDictionary(str):
outputCharAttributes(attributes):
readCharAttributes(inputEvent=None):
Note that it looks like some applications like Evolution and Star
Office don't implement text.getDefaultAttributes(). This means
that we can't always determine the full set of text attributes.
2006-03-16 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca-setup.in: make hyperlink voice more
distinguishable from the normal speaking voice
* src/orca/scripts/Mozilla.py: do a bit of work with better
handling of hyperlinks
2006-03-15 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/brlmon.py: use window manager struts property to
keep other windows from occluding the brlmon and to push
them out of the way if necessary.
* src/orca/util.py: add findFocusedObject method to find the
focused object under a given root.
* src/orca/scripts/gdmlogin.py, src/orca/gnome-terminal.py: use
the util.findFocusedObject method on window activated events.
2006-03-14 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/Makefile.am, src/orca/scripts/gdmlogin.py:
simple script to speak the text area with focus when Orca is
started.
2006-03-13 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py
Adjustment to clause #1 of the onFocus() method to check to see
if the current paragraph contains one or more hypertext links.
If it does, then those words containing the links are spoken with
the HYPERTEXT voice and the word "link" is spoken after them.
2006-03-13 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py
Added in support for spell checking when there is more than one
misspelt word on the same line. Also handles the situation where we
are getting more than one "object:property-change:accessible-name"
event for the same misspelt word.
2006-03-09 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py: toss out all children remove
events unless they are for the desktop. This is an attempt to deal
with bursty event behavior for events we may not always care about.
* src/orca/orca.py, src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py: stub in
some experimental timer code. It's commented out for now, but the
goal is to try to detect hangs in AT-SPI calls.
2006-03-08 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/brlmon.py: Better adaptation (e.g. position on screen)
to changes in size when working with large fonts (e.g., enlarging
the fonts for presentation purposes).
* src/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py, src/orca/braille.py: transform
unicode ellipses into "...". Fixes bug 333915.
2006-03-07 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca.py: disable the automatic updating of the apps
list. This was often hanging Orca and the desktop, especially
in the instances where the gnome error window of death would
appear. NOTE THAT THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY THING: It helps
avoid some hangs, but it also required the disabling of the
hierarchical presentation manager, which is rarely, if ever,
used.
* src/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py: unref speech engines that fail
to initialize. This will give them a chance to exit. Fixes
bug 333792.
* src/orca/orca.py: add more signal handling logic to attempt to
shutdown gracefully under adverse conditions. This helps address
bug 333765.
2006-03-06 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/orca.py, src/orca/settings.py, src/orca/orca-setup.in:
turn braille on by default; Orca will fail gracefully if it cannot
connect to BrlTTY.
* src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py, src/orca/orca.py: handle
COMM_FAILURE's better when looking at children of the destkop.
* src/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py: In speech, add a space after all
instances of "[" in a string as a means to prevent DECtalk from
interpreting these as commands. This is an interim fix, and I'm
not sure whether the real fix belongs in the dectalk driver for
gnome-speech or in Orca.
2006-03-03 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py
Added a new clause to the onFocus() method.
2) Writer: spell checking dialog.
Check to see if the Spell Check dialog has just appeared and got
focus. If it has, then it contains a "paragraph" which shows the
context for the current spelling mistake. After speaking/brailling
the default action for this component, that a selection of the
surronding text from that paragraph with the misspelt word is also
spoken.
* src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py
The number of words spoken in the surronding text for misspelt
words was one less than it should have been.
2006-03-02 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/speechgenerator.py
Adjusted the _getSpeechForTableCell() method to check to see
if the table cell implemented the accessible text interface,
and if so, to append that text to the list of spoken utterances
(if that text was different than the label of the table cell).
2006-03-02 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py
A tweak to clause 3) in the onFocus() method (Mail view:
message header list). The column header is only spoken and
brailled when moving by row, if this is the table cell that
currently has focus.
2006-03-02 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* bugs/bugs.html
Added an entry for the StarOffice/OpenOffice bug #62723.
Open Dialog "read-only" checkbox has incorrect accessibility
information.
2006-03-02 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/script.py, src/orca/focus_tracking_presenter.py:
patch for bug 333168: scripts were not being reclaimed. This
is an acceptable workaround, but we should (not must) determine
circular references and why they exist.
* src/orca/braillegenerator.py: add ARMED state as a means for
identifying selected items when considering which item to show
from a set of grouped items. This is to work around the way
OpenOffice currently exposes selected menu items. If/when they
fix this to match GTK's method, this code should still continue
to work and not cause side effects (I hope).
* src/orca/atspi.py: do not cache the accessible state because
I'm not sure we are getting the appropriate events to allow us
to keep our state cache in sync.
2006-03-01 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/default.py: fix for bug 332887 - added extra KeySyms
to accomodate different keypad layouts on Solaris systems.
2006-02-28 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/util.py src/orca/Makefile.am
src/orca/scripts/Evolution.py src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py
Created a new util.py file which will contain various utility
functions used by Orca. Moved the isDesiredFocusedItem() routine
there and adjusted Evolution.py and StarOffice.py accordingly.
2006-02-28 Rich Burridge <rich.burridge@sun.com>
* src/orca/scripts/StarOffice.py
Added an onFocus() method and handled the following situation:
When the focus is on a paragraph in the Document view of the Writer,
then just speak/braille the current line (rather than speaking a
bogus initial "paragraph" utterance as well).
* src/orca/braille.py
The initial parameter of the call to displayRegionsWithFocus()
within the displayRegions() method should have been "regions" not
"region".
2006-02-27 Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com>
* src/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py: handle fallback for broken
speech drivers a little better - gnome-speech may tell us a
driver is available when, in fact, the engine behind it is
not working.
